Donald Trump without a Twitter account is like a penguin who wishes he were an eagle — if only he had wings and could fly. But the penguin only has flippers and Trump only has “press releases” from his office with the twisted official seal, meant to give the impression he’s still president, merely in exile, to the rubes. And he has OANN. So between the two, here’s his latest nocturnal emission.
President Trump calls on @dougducey to protect AZ patriots during audit:
“State police or National Guard must be immediately sent out for protection. The Democrats do not want to have this information revealed & they will do anything to stop it. Governor Ducey must finally act!” pic.twitter.com/FSx24ldCLW

Raw Story is reporting two more press releases. I can’t find them on Twitter but here’s the text.
In the second, he demanded that “Governor Ducey will be held fully responsible for the safety of those involved. State police or National Guard must be immediately sent out for protection.” In the third press release, he said, “The Democrats are desperate for the FRAUD to remain concealed,” and “The Governor of Arizona, Doug Ducey, has been shockingly of zero help to the State Senate. He wants to “pretend” the election was free and fair … I predict the results will be startling!”
That’s pretty thinly veiled mob speak for, “Hey, Doug, ya wanna go the way of Brian in Georgia? Wanna wake up with a cement primary on your feet? You better wake up and figure out who butters your bread.” – signed Don the Don.
If you’re just now tuning into this farce, the Arizona GOP has hired a Florida-based company run by an acolyte of Sidney Powell, called Cyber Ninjas, to conduct an “audit” of votes in Maricopa County, which have already been audited beyond exhaustion. It is pure political theater. But that said, do not discount it: disinformation is pernicious and this skit in the southwest is stacking up to be problematic already.
The #AZGOP senate handed our ballots and voter data over to a Lin Wood operation.
They are counting right now and there are no reporters in the building.
It will definitely be used for the next round of conspiracy theories for the radicalized.

The whole point is to create a toehold for the GQP to use as raw meat for the base and fund raise on. This will be the root of all kind of crazy going forward. And the grift goes on.

Then there’s the business of the audit being done with blue pens at the beginning, when only red ink is allowed in audits. This audit is an exercise in political demolition, and it is going to be a culture war flashpoint, because ridiculous as it is, Trump’s 2024 campaign depends upon “proving” that he was cheated out of what was rightfully his and now he must return from exile and rule. This farce in Maricopa County is part of the ramp up to that.
Now here’s a thought. Let the idiot think he’s still president, then, come 2024, trll him “Sorry – you’ve hed two terms already and can’t run again”
Trump already is the POTUS! Go back to your cave to panic!
Choosing to live in an alternate reality based on “alternate facts” as KellyAnne Conway coined them doesn’t make that world or those NOT facts true. Trump’s term ended per the process set forth in the Constitution at noon on Jan. 20th. Period. End of story. You can screw your eyes shut and even wear soundproof headphones that blast nothing but Trump ramblings, and maybe also that of Mikey Lindell, Rudy G. (once he replaces the transmission fluid that leaked out of his head!), Sydney Powell (who know is trying to get out of trouble with judges by saying no sane person would actually believe the bullshit she was claiming in her legal filings – think about THAT!) and others and you know what? It still doesn’t change the FACT that Trump is an EX President.
I rather doubt I’ve convinced you, but what the hell. If I at least made you think then the time taken to respond to you will have been worth it.
Shouldn’t your last name be spelled ‘cornhole’? As in Frump cornholed democracy, truth, justice & Christ.
It’s cute how Former Guy thinks he still has influence. It’s less cute how many GQP think they’re going to escape the fallout when he goes down.
It’s interesting how his main mouthpiece now seems to be OAN. I can’t even find him with a big presence on Parler for this announcement, but maybe it just hasn’t hit there yet.
Even more reason for the democrats to end the filibuster & pass HR1…these yahoos ban journalists, seize ballots, etc., to squeeze what they can from the big lie. Make no mistake, fascists have to be stopped early or we’re all toast. Scientists already fear rump’s rollback of 113 regulations on the petrochemical industry for four years may have already irreparably damaged the cause for dealing with climate change. Can u imagine if, by hook or crook, he gets power again instead of an orange jump suit? Gadzooks!
SHUT UP YOU COMMIE, NAZI FASCIST!
Chill out dude. While differing views are ok, repeated name calling using descriptors that are inaccurate and therefore unwarranted is not cool. So again I say chill.
Alternatively, they can eff off, Denis. Reasonable discussion is fine. Trolls need the Billy Goat Gruff treatment.
NEVER ask that question of a professional ghostwriter like myself, Scott. I can promise my imagination has that kind of breadth. However, as I have managed to live this long without World War III ever happening courtesy of nukes, I ALSO possess the imagination to think of something better than the doomsday predictions that far too many have gotten addicted to, in addition to the rage/fear addictions that are related to it.
Triumph on our side is not guaranteed. Nor will it ever be everything we could have hoped for. But god-effing-dammit, people, have the last six months not taught you that a good outcome is at least POSSIBLE?
